Abstract:
Womans topic is of the important topics that is dealt by many academic human studies as it relates many aspects such as the social, human, political and religious. The philosophical studies had participated in dealing with this topic, many philosophers , such as Aristotle and Plato the greatest philosophers, had dealt with this topic where each one of them had a different approach. For Plato the Woman is an independent human equal to Man , while for Aristotle, she is a natural creature governed by the Man as he enjoys a perfect reason while she does not. This research is a contrastive study of Woman for Aristotle and Plato, where it tackles Woman in the pre - Plato society, the Greek society of the gods and myths. It shows Woman suffer in those myths where she did not enjoy her rights and freedom as a perfect independent creature in front of the Man who was the governor and the dominator. This was represented by the god Zeywos and his wife Hira whose suffer was just like that of the ordinary Woman. Then the researcher moves to Platos era who, as a result of the miserable situation of the Woman, had put the rules or laws that call for liberate Woman and allow her to participate in the political affairs, governing and other so on. Society, and the following Philosophers such as Aristotle had rejected these ideas where Aristotle represented the Greek status and reality by his opinions so he insisted on limiting Woman to the domestic affairs. Moreover he had referred to the biological aspect believing that Man is responsible for procreation while Woman is just a store or a room for the baby to sleep in and that nature had ruled Woman to serve Man. This study obtain a stet conclusions that could be summarized as following : - 1 - Woman, whether she was a god or a real Woman, had a low status before the Man who was the governor and the dominator while she was the governed and the dominated. 2 - The Greek society had a rigid opinion upon the woman when she had been deprived of participation in ruling, policy or authority. Moreover she had been prevented from attending the courts or trails which were restricted to Man.3 - Platos idealism had put Woman in an idealistic status that he had equalized her to Man. This new status involved her to neglect the family and that was the main reason of rejecting his opinions, though he had modified them.4 - Aristotle's theory upon Woman as a store or a room for the baby to sleep in had been referred to nature without science aspect where the scientific theories and discoveries proved that Woman played the greatest role in defining the babys sex especially that she carries the chromosome ( xx ) who select the chromosome ( X Y ). It was necessary to criticize the mentioned point to show the injustice against Woman by depriving her rights and freedom as a perfect independent human being.
